Did the Cast of ‘Dawson’s Creek’ Secretly Hate Each Other? Debunking the Myth

After losing touch for a while, Katie Holmes and Joshua Jackson, who were briefly dating during the show’s run, reconnected in 2012. As Joshua Jackson mentioned during an interview on George Stroumboulopoulos Tonight, 'Yeah, like any old friend, it was like "Oh hi, how are ya, What’s going on? I had a kid." It was very nice actually.'
The main cast reunited in 2018 on Entertainment Tonight to celebrate the show’s 20th anniversary. They revealed that they are still in touch and have a group text going, indicating an enduring friendship that 'didn’t skip a beat.'
